ROUND UP: THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR SMALL BUSINESS
“With the passing of this major responsibility, we know that focus areas may change and new policies enacted. Whatever the next four years hold, we cannot forget who actually is the economic driver of America—her entrepreneurs. In fact, small businesses make up 99.7 percent of U.S. employer firms.Here are six perspectives on the new presidential administration...” Article resource courtesy of Eunice Carpitella of Transformative Dynamics via Source Link.
10 Ways Entrepreneurs Can Help Build a Nation That Wants Better for Everyone, Sherrie CampbellShort story short: we need to be a nation of people who are peacefully driven, regardless of who is president.
In Economy as in Business, Trumponomics May Mean Building Big Things, Chris ArnoldBig infrastructure spending programs, lowering taxes and global trade barriers: are these a few of President-elect Trump’s favorite things?
The Sunny Side of Trump, Peter CoyBusinesses and investors remain optimistic and project economic growth for 2017 and 2018.
#BensTake: Reflections on the 2016 Election, Ben HechtBen Hecht, president and CEO of Living Cities, offers his thoughts on the President-elect, focusing on low-income people and the workforce.
Localizing the Economic Impact of Research and Development: Policy Proposals for the Trump Administration and Congress, Stephen Ezell and Scott M. AndesThe ITIF and Brookings Institution collaborated and put together a list of 50 policy proposals for the new presidential administration. These proposed changes focus on technology commercialization.
Here Is What Small Business Needs from the Trump Administration, Carol RothICYMI: small business entrepreneurs need a president who understands business regulation (and its effects), an appreciation of technology and an understanding of the entire entrepreneurial ecosystem. Roth goes on to say the U.S. government needs to create “a single interface for small business owners to easily navigate and find the resources that they need.” Sounds like one giant Resource Navigator.
Continue THE CONVERSATION
THERE IS A NEW PRESIDENT - WHAT NOW?
Join us for #TrendingTuesday on February 7 at Catch 54 at 5:00 p.m. for a non-partisan discussion with State Representative Ron Gray and Chris White of State Farm the transitional impact on small business with a New President in the Oval Office.

M ember SPOTLIGHT: EDWARD JONES – MAX HUTSELL, AAMS®, FINANCIAL ADVISORMax Hutsell of Edward Jones has a lot to celebrate these days. Five years ago he was new to the local business community, and new to the Chamber. Now he is a mainstay in the area, and recognized as a very valuable resource for those seeking financial planning guidance. He recently earned the Accredited Asset Management Specialist (AAMS®), which is a professional designation awarded by the College for Financial Planning (CFP) to financial professionals who successfully complete a self-study program, pass an exam, and agree to comply with a code of ethics. It was important to Hutsell to become involved in the Chamber as soon as he took over the Edward Jones office in Ocean View. According to Hutsell, the Chamber has given his
business the most return on investment for his marketing dollars. He feels the Chamber “has been invaluable as a resource to expand professional connections, and recommend their various services” to his clients. Since joining the Chamber, Hutsell has been very active in attending networking events, volunteering at the Chamber’s community events, and was nominated to the Chamber’s Board of Directors this year. What do the next five years look like to Hutsell? He “plans to continue to serve the families and businesses in our growing community.” Next time you see Max Hutsell at a networking event, be sure to wish him a very happy anniversary and many more years of business success!

AROUND THE Quiet ResortsDELAWARE SEASHORE STATE PARK TURNS 50!
Delaware Seashore State Park makes plans to celebrate 50th Anniversary and needs your help! As everyone is still get-ting the hang of writing 2017 as the current year, Delaware Seashore State Park is already making big plans for the year ahead. 2017 marks 50 years
since Delaware Seashore be-came a state park and park staff are excited to celebrate this milestone with a series of celebra-tions, as well as the creation of a new Delaware Seashore State Park Family Scrapbook. “I’m very excited to celebrate 50 years of outdoor recre-ation at Delaware Seashore,” says Park Superin-tendent, Doug Long. “The park has been the site of countless, treasured family memories from visi-tors from all corners of the Earth! Like many other park staff, I have worked at the park for over 20 years but have also been a visitor myself for over 30 years, surfing or enjoying the pristine beaches.”The 50th anniversary celebrations will kick off with a “Celebrate Fishing” event on May 13. After the “Celebrate Fishing” event in May, park staff will be hosting a “Celebrate the Beach” event on Saturday, July 8, in conjunction with the annu-al Sandcastle Contest. On Saturday August 26, park visitors will have the opportunity to “Celebrate the Bay” during a paddling event, and on Saturday, September 23, there will be a “Celebrate the Inlet” event, complete with a beach bonfire, guided night hikes of the bridges, and an exclusive opportunity to camp directly on the beach. For details, check out destateparks.com/DSSP50th. In addition to the four Celebrations, park staff will also be compiling the Delaware Seashore State Park “Family Scrapbook.” Scharle explains that “this is where we need the help from our visitors. We’re asking anyone that has old family pho-tos of the park to share them with us. We know there are some real gems sitting in a shoebox in someone’s attic right now and we’d love to see them. We’re not looking for profession-al photos or pictures you snapped last week. We are seeking pictures from decades ago.” Submitted photos will be compiled in a digital family scrapbook that will be featured online towards the end of the year. Some of the pho-tos may even be used for future park history exhibits and presentations. To submit photos, visit destateparks.com/DSSP50th or send a private message to facebook.com/delaware-seashorestatepark. For more information about upcoming 50th anniversary events or the state park’s family scrapbook, call (302) 227-6991.
